Description

Global poverty is a central concern for world politics, yet we lack and adequate conception of the ways the ''global poor'' affect contemporary world order. This book examines the proposition, inspired by the work of Robert W. Cox and Jeffrey Harrod, that such a conception must be based on an analysis of how the ''global poor'' take part in power relations as unprotected workers . It examines the ways in which production and power relations constitute world politics, and the chapters shed light on the politics of production in the Third World, migration, prostitution, the ''clash of civilizations'' and union internationalism.
